Anyone own an Ontario Spax? Likes/dislikes? How much use has it seen?
I bought mine for a BOB and have used it camping. I figured it looked like a good cross between an axe and a "tactical" tomahawk so for 40 bucks i jumped on one. Its a decent weight for chopping, finish was good, but the blade was horrible when i received it though. Its gotten through everything i've put in front of it. Not as well as a good hatchet, but 100 times better than any hawk i've used.

I've spent months in the bush and never needed anything like that. I can see it's uses for large game, or even for defense, but that's a lot of weight for a very specific use. If you need it great, but I never needed anything like that. It might be a good spot to save some weight if you look at your actual needs rather than just following someone else's list.
